• Question: What are some examples of games that do things right when it comes to feminism/women's rights? - Anonymous
  • Answer:

    Unfortunately, I don’t have many games that come to mind that I would feel comfortable recommending. However, non-AAA games seem to be filling up this space because more minorities exist in those companies. I particularly liked To the Moon (you will cry, I promise) because it deals with some ableist issues as well. Anna Anthropy’s work is constantly subverting the otherwise homogeneous of more known non-AAA devs. It could be something as simple as this game on Kickstarter, Lily Looking Through. It’s not about feminism, but a young girl going on adventures and practicing skills usually reserved for boys. And she’s not just a palette-swap. We’re not looking for YEAH FEMINISM but telling girls and women “you can too.”
